«Gorgias» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Flammarion in paperback (380 pages, in French).
Dialogue in which Socrates confronts Gorgias and other sophists about rhetoric, justice, and the good life. Against the idea that power and pleasure are the ultimate ends, Socrates argues that eloquence must serve knowledge and virtue, and that the real question is how to live in the best possible way.
Edition in Flammarion's GF Philosophie collection, with introduction and translation by Monique Canto-Sperber.
Common reading in philosophy and classical culture courses, both for those studying Greek thought and for general readers.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
